The people of Meigs in Thomas county, are congratulating them selves on the prospect of having a direct line of railroad to Moul trie In the near' future.

If COURT UR \. SESSION THIS WEEK. The Cairo correspondent: to the Thbtnasvllie Timts-Epter* prise, in Uii issue last Tuesday, md the foliowihg compiimentV'ry reference to the message deliv ; eredto Ooiincll by Mayor Led ford at their meeting last week. “The new Mayer, Col. M. L Ledfohl, is being higiy compli mented upon his message deliver ed at the first meeting of. the City Fathers for 1015, The message spoke his views plainly arid pointedly. Some previous adminstration, without precedent >r legal authority, assuhted or •islegated unto themselves free water and lights. This privilege was a kind of blanket order ahd was extended to all who were connected with the city govern ment even, unto the remotest degree. Two years ago at every ward meeting, before the primary, the unathotized special privilege was unanimously condemed by the taxpayers, but their condem nation v, as ignored by those in authority and the delegated free lights still burned and the Un authorized free water still flutt ered. Mayor Ledford hit this unauth orized special privilege “ker blink,” right in the snook. The mayor recognized thi-t this free water and lights business was without precedent and against every public policy known. Hereafter, the Mayor, Council- men and all those who are con nected with the city government, oven unto the uttermost degree, will be expected to pay for all the citjr water they use and all Prominent Grady Counly Citizyn Seriuusly Hurt Pelham, Ga., January 19- J.

Wjth Mayor Ledford at the lead of our city government- much is expected of this admins tration. “ This message, as printed in full in the Progress last week, was read with interest by the people if Cairo and citizens of the coun • y generally and much favorable comment has been made on the message, and our peeple fully be- lieve that this administration will be one of the best and most profi cable Cairo has ever enjoyed and hat the recommendations made »t the. recent mass meeting will ill be curried out. In this connection we publiFh elow a letter received this week, u om one of our subscribers and well wishers, calling ai tentionrfo much needed watering place for stock. This convenience ’ is jreatly needed and one that we hope this administration will in stall, The letter is as follows Mr. Editor: We countrymen have read the message of the new Mayor of Cairo with much pleasure. His message has the right ring about it and seems to mean business and right* A formnr administration de stroyed the only place where we country people, who trade in Cairo, cou’d water our stock with out infringing upon private prop erty.

Grady’s School Enumeration. Grady county is shown by the U. S. Census to have 6, 911 chil dren between the ages of six and twenty years, and 3, 700 or 53.5 percent of them attend school. The data contained in the report relates to the year 1910 and has only recently been made public. The distribution, by four age- groups, and the number attend ing school is as follows: AGE TOTAL No. No. AT. 6 to 9 2155 1357 10 to 14 2404 1718 16 to 17 1204 495 18 to 20 1148' 130 A census taken at this time doubtless would show up better in this and other counties of the State. Buttermilk Cerate Continued on last page. Continued on last page. is very different from all the rest. It contains about 30 per cent pure, freshly churned dairy buttermilk. You may .remember that your grandmother’s “peach es-and- cream” complexion of her girl hood days was the result of dailv applications of some buttermilk compound made after her favor ite recipe. Penslar Buttermilk Cerate is based on one of those good old recipes, improved and moderniz ed so that it has • become still more effective. And it is so skillfully compound ed and delightfully perfumed that it is a real toilet luxury aside from its value in refreshing cleansing, beautifying, and nourishing the skin. It comes in a liberal-sized package —your fifty cents buys enough to last a long while- smaller size, in collapsible tube 25 cents. If you once examine it, we know that Penslar Buttermilk Cerate will be your favorite, hereafter.
